801

About This Movie

801 is this quirky indie comedy that manages to blend humor with a genuine sense of place. Shawshank, our white rapper protagonist, navigates the sometimes absurd landscape of Salt Lake City while trying to record his debut album, Redemption. The pacing is a bit off-kilter at times, which somehow adds to the charm. It’s not a polished production, but that’s part of its vibe. The practical effects are minimal, which keeps the focus on the characters and their interactions. There’s a certain rawness to the performances, and you get a real sense of Shawshank’s struggles and aspirations. It captures this unique slice of life in SLC with a playful yet sincere tone that sticks with you.
